Resumo
This thesis investigates the configurations of homoeroticism and homophobia in four
contemporary youth narratives, namely Hermes Bernardi Júnior’s Eu é um outro (2014);
Plínio Camillo’s O namorado do papai ronca (2012); Michael Barakiva’s One man guy (2015);
and David Levithan’s Boy meets boy (2015). The aim is to analyze the characters’ multiple
homoerotic configurations in different spaces of socialization, among which the markedly
oppressive and homophobic school environment, in addition to proposing a discussion on the
“closet” as a device that very often regulates homosexuals’ lives. The thesis is founded upon
the hypothesis that the homophobia present in the novels emerges from the social
construction that establishes the heterosexuality supremacy in affective relationships. In that
regard, the characters of the novels find themselves subjected to homophobic and violent
situations built upon social structures that regulate the heteronormativity, purporting it as
natural, thereby generating inequality, violence, and discrimination among the individuals that
represent sexual diversity. School, family, and other spaces of socialization are also based
upon this ideology of the heterosexist hegemony which oppresses the sexual minorities and
perpetrate unjustifiable sanctions on behalf of a subjectivity in relation to sexuality. This is a
bibliographical study with an exploratory methodology, which permits the contact with
theories on gender, sexuality, cultural studies and queer studies. From a post-structuralist
perspective related to gender and sexuality studies, we propose, to begin with, theoretical and
critical references such as Even Kosofsky Sedgwick (1985,2007), Michel Foucault (1981,
1988, 2015), Daniel Borrillo (2010), Judith Butler (2015, 2018a, 2018b), Guacira Lopes Louro
(1995, 1997, 2009, 2015, 2018), Tomaz Tadeu da Silva (2012), Kathryn Woodward (2012),
Didier Eribon (2008), Erving Goffman (2008), Georges Bataille (2013), Jurandir Freire Costa
(1992), among others. We hope that this discussion will contribute to a reflection about the
importance of accepting and welcoming sexual minorities and establishing equality without
gender distinction.
